不知道楼主知道不知道G,T的中国学生历年来的最低线； 这个中国学生请分两种回答， 1) 为中国CITIZENSHIP的2）为有国际经验的，请问是不是会有两种不同的标准还是基本G,T标准一致呢，谢谢

Stanford对学术要求比较高，所以G的成绩比一般学校高，我之前帮别人查过，印象中全部平均分是730-740。不是是很确定具体分值，但肯定不低，还得由楼主来确认。

GSB indeed has one of the highest average GMAT scores.  This, however, does not mean the Ad Com places a barrier for people with lower GMAT scores.  There is a wide range of GMAT scores here at the GSB.  Simply because GSB has more applicants, and they select the best candidates among similar profiles, there is an elevated average GMAT.


I don't know the minimum G/T scores by the Chinese students here.  They really look at your entire package.  As long as your GMAT is okay, I would suggest that you focus on your essays instead.

There are 3 who had entrepreneurship experience: 1 founded a company in healthcare in China, 1 is doing a start-up now, 1 has worked in family business.

楼主我有一个关于申请材料的问题，想向您请教。
我已经提交了STANFORD第一轮的申请，是截止最后一个小时交的，但是由于赶申请时间非常紧张，最后在把所有ESSAY汇总成整个文件上传的时候，忘记按学校要求添加页码数，其他文档内的格式都是正确的。
我现在非常懊悔，因为自我感觉ESSAY的总体质量还算不错，尤其是公认较难写的第一篇，文章几乎一气呵成未做修改，现在很担心因为格式没有按照要求而让ESSAY给人的印象大打折扣。
我的理解，之所以要求编页码主要是为了打印出来后阅读方便。由于现在个人的申请状态还是SUBMITTED，并没有变成REVIEW，我想请教您我可不可以给学校去封邮件说明一下，比如提醒下学校我的ESSAY忘记加页码了。不知道过往有没有象我这样粗心大意的申请者最终被成功录取的，我这个时候再给学校去邮件有必要，或者说还有意义么？

I don't think it matters - they probably won't even notice. Unless you feel better by emailing them that, otherwise I personally don't feel the need to remind them that there is no page number.

yes, depends on what type of industry you want to change to, Stanford has resource for any background. The career center is now focusing on giving personalized advice/help to students and no one left behind.

LZ你好  谢谢你无私地分享！
请问一下
1.你们这届里面PRE-MBA就是IB背景的多吗? 这些同学MBA之后的就业方向是不是主要集中在加州的PE/VC或者自己创业?
换句话说...  会不会背景雷同(PRE-MBA IBD 3YEARS)职业目标雷同(POST MBA PE/VC)的人集中在STANFORD相对较小的CLASS里比较多（相较于COLUMBIA那种学生背景很DIVERSE的） 无形之中增大就业压力呢?

能简单介绍一下你们这届或者上届找BUY SIDE工作的就业情况吗?

2.  我之前是在英国，MBA之后想过度到香港工作  不知道你们CLASS SIZE比较小， 中国校友网络在香港怎么样呢？

3. 我还有23年才申MBA。 主要是想通过MBA转到BUYSIDE。 我知道STANFORD在这一块是比较强的， 所以很感兴趣。 请问一下申请S家最看重的素质是什么呢？因为我现在还有时间， 想提前准备。 不知道在工作中或者其他方面可以怎样提升背景呢？

谢谢你啦！

1. very few who has only IB experience - many did VC or PE after IB before MBA; post MBA very diverse: some start-up, some back to PE, some to VC, some to Tech and other area. 50% of class will stay in Bay area, and the rest all over the world. It's not about your prior experience but what you want to do after, and nothing can prevent you from pursuing your dreams.
Not many of us are into buy side- this year only 2 did PE for summer, and 2 did asset management. Last year only 1 did PE post-MBA.
2. Last year one MBA went back to Hong Kong. Compared to Harvard or Columbi, we don't have a large class size and smaller alumni base everywhere, but the bond formed among classmates are very strong everywhere.
3. There is no magic formula for what kind of candidates Stanford like. If after research, you like the school and think it could be a good fit for you, you should just apply. I think being authentic to whom you are and what you want is most important.
